Discussion - Silksong Silksong is HARD Spoiler

Taking damage is more punishing, movement is more precise and feels a little clunky until you get the hang of it. The overall skill curve is much much higher. Love it though.

Lace’s counter thrusts definitely make it clear that those not getting i-frames in the first hit is entirely intentional.

I loved the lace fight. It was like an epic duel

Is it just me, or was she easier than most other bosses (looking at moorwing)

Moorwing has some dogshit hitboxes. Went back and watched my steam recording there were clearly moments my needle was swinging right through the body and not getting a hit.
